It brings a tear to my eye to watch old g4 content, as kid watching these shows made me want to do nothing but play games. Watching episodes of cheat so that I could find all the secrets to every game I got my hands on. Episodes of x play to see what was to come in the future of games and reviews of games that were out for people to love, and Morgan Webb “the goddess of gaming” keeping my teenage boy mind in full focus of every bit of the shows subject. Ah a simpler time, a better time
This brings me back. I watched this as it aired, and EVERY time it was on i watched it. It was pure memories hearing some of the quotes they have like "Last night I was lost in the jungle with pitfall harry"
@@LeseanDeVon NO WAY HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY!!! I just saw the teaser and my god, I'm so hyped. It probably won't be like my childhood but I'm still going to watch it
One of the funniest parts is that 3 separate mainline NBA games made this list, out of the thousands of other contenders we need to put 3 entries of a franchise notorious for being the exact same every year.
I am so glad they put Wii Sports on the list as a family game. For me it really was. It was part of the last memory I have with my grandfather. I went down to Florida to help my parents move him into an Alzheimer facility and while my parents helped pack up his place, the two of us played the game for like an hour and he beat my butt on EVERYTHING. It was the last time I saw him. He died almost two years later :(
its amazing how many games have come out in the 9 years since this documentary also REST IN PEACE ROBIN WILLIAMS who passed away 2 years after this was released
Guys, the bottom half of the list is definitely full of games for casuals, but the higher you go, the much better the list gets. The top 20 is particularly filled with gems.
Placebo thank you so much for putting this online! I used to watch this all the time when I had it recorded from the good ol days with G4 and I miss G4 so much. Just thank you.
No mention of Mega Man 2 on this entire countdown. The 1st video game sequel to actually surpass the original by a long shot! A video game I STILL play regularly!
+Sean Parenti don't worry I believe Mass Effect 3 is higher on this, I know this is older, and I haven't watched this in a while, but I do think it's on here. Or the original
RUclips and streaming has very much taken over.. I still watch regular TV but I'm one of the few millenials that probably do that, and it's mostly because I'll catch something my parents are watching.
Man has no one else noticed all the dumb Left 4 Dead comments from these "gamers." One guy talked about zombies and said the witch is the toughest enemy... Then another one said he doesn't revive his teammates because they STEAL THE GUNS... Another guy said "the big zombie." You mean the Tank. I was into this list until that... It's painfully obviously they don't know what they're talking about so obvious this is a paycheck to them. How tf is Mass Effect #87?!
I don't know if the ranking feels right to me, but I am having a great nostalgia trip watching this! OUTRUN! BURGERTIME! MARIO! And also the mention of contemporary games like Assassin's creed and skyrim.
It sucks that G4 isn’t around anymore, now that we have even more advanced video games in terms of gameplay, story, music...etc I would’ve loved to see an updated version of this series.
All the retro games should be at top because they inspired all the newer games. Though I am happy to see this list features many old skool retro games, because let's face it those first games had the best original ideas/concepts wich ever since been duplicated endlessly. Tetris, Pong, Copter, Breakout, Snake, Frogger, Simon are all in my top 10. Also in my top 100: Claw, NFS Most Wanted/Underground/Carbon/Hot Pursuit, Trackmania Sunrise, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Mafia II, Trine 1, F.E.A.R. 1-3, Tom Clancey's games, Darksiders II, Batman Arkham City, UEFA Champions League, FIFA 07, NHL '99/2000/2002, Air Hockey, Unreal Tournament, Magic Pockets, Super Bounce Out, Flatout (2), Doom 3, Mario Tennis, Virtua Tennis, Megaman 1-5, Final Fight, Adventure Island 1-3, Ballance, Half Life 2, Grand Theft Auto III/San Andreas, Max Payne 1/2, Call of Duty 1/4, Assassin's Creed 1-3, Super Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario Kart, Soldier Of Fortune II, NBA Jam...some of these belong in the top 100.

No, old games like Breakout, Pong, Snake, etc should NOT be at the top of this list. This is the top 100 games of all time, not the most influential games of all time. Its not solely based on their influence. No go ahead, try to play pong for 8 hours and I will play an Elder Scrolls game for 8 hours. See who is more enveloped in their game. However, this list is bullshit anyway. I get its subjective but a couple of these entries I just don't understand... Ha.
Old games are in this list because the older generations felt the same way about those games. It's the old games that inspired people to develop the games you are willing to play for 8 hours today.
Did you know that people back when pong was released would do the same thing? Of course you wouldn't play pong for 8 hours, nor would I, because what entertains our generation is different. You're not taking time periods into account. The list is for the "Top 100 video games of ALL TIME". Not of "2000+". There are many games released in every generation which are sub par, average, or amazing. The amazing ones from each generation should be recognized when doing a top 100 for all time video. Your view on this is very linear. That being said, it would be nice if there was at least somewhere to view the poll itself used for the list if one was done or to at least know how they rated the games so we could know why the games are where they are.
I think you may have missed the point, yes older games should be here, I am sure you did not enjoy pong neither did I, but that does not mean it is not great to other people, understand that not everyone would enjoy ES series, or the genre, this list is for all gamers, everyone enjoys something different, so it is subject to opinion, and it is targeted for a broad audience and was on G4 so it had to be for everyone.even some non gamers, try to be a little more open minded guys, understand for some people pong was and is that great game
Yeah... braid should definitely not be on this list. There are plenty of games that allowed the user to solve problems by going back in time. Braid was just popular and influenced the downloadable mentality.
I'm laughing about these 20-somethings talking about how Pong affected people. I'm old, so I know: It wasn't "it's just 2 sticks and a ball but it's addictive." it was "holy shit! I'm moving this stuff on my tv!" lol. I also noticed that no one mentioned changing the brightness and contrast of the tv so the ball and sticks were so bright left trails.
So I have watched this list multiple times, it's fun to watch, to see how many games I've played or know. And I still am super pissed all the time that NO Devil May Cry game is on here, anywhere, on any of these videos...was it not influential enough? Did it not inspire God of War and every other mega violent game enough?
The Indian guy just tries to be funny and he's just boring. But the countdown was really good and some of these I used to play when I was growing up and some of them I still play today.

I remember watching G4 growing up. X Play and Attack of the Show we're my shit

Same, I miss G4 like crazy.
It’s back.
@@LeseanDeVon NO WAY HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY!!! I just saw the teaser and my god, I'm so hyped. It probably won't be like my childhood but I'm still going to watch it

Welcome to the top 100 video games, mainstream media edition.
at least it's better than any list IGN (Ignorant Gaming News) turns out.
One of the funniest parts is that 3 separate mainline NBA games made this list, out of the thousands of other contenders we need to put 3 entries of a franchise notorious for being the exact same every year.
i remembered i recorded this on tv and watched it so many times. omg the nostalgia
same
me 2 bro
I wish they got the reactions of more informed gamers.
Fucking words with friends? Am I really seeing this? FUCKING WORDS WITH FRIENDS?
Man, when these aired I felt like I was actually watching G4 again, instead of the Cops/Ninja Warrior network.
I remember recording this on tv so i could watch it after school, while this list is pretty dated its so nostalgic.
Number 99 is words with friends?
Bye Im gonna go see some real gamers.
TheCobbleBros Bye Felicia!
...okay?
#88 Double Dribble.
This was from MY generation and nobody gave a shit about this game!
Garbage list!
Make your own damn list then.
Who Ever Is Watching This In 2017 Who Hates That G4 Got Taken Off Plus This Show
Zackery Perry me
Me, except in 2018.
Me, but in 2019
I am so glad they put Wii Sports on the list as a family game. For me it really was. It was part of the last memory I have with my grandfather. I went down to Florida to help my parents move him into an Alzheimer facility and while my parents helped pack up his place, the two of us played the game for like an hour and he beat my butt on EVERYTHING. It was the last time I saw him. He died almost two years later :(
Rest In Peace, Robin Williams
its amazing how many games have come out in the 9 years since this documentary
also REST IN PEACE ROBIN WILLIAMS who passed away 2 years after this was released
R.I.P 'Rest In Peace' Robin Williams
I remember watching this and recording it on our old dvr
NBA 2K so realistic that I couldn't keep Yao on the court for more than like 2 games xDDDD I laughed
Probably watched this 10 times over the years constantly showing it to friends, thanks for sharing this man wherever you are, I wish you luck
RIP Robin Williams and Michael Clarke Duncan
Guys, the bottom half of the list is definitely full of games for casuals, but the higher you go, the much better the list gets. The top 20 is particularly filled with gems.
So glad someone uploaded these! Never thought I'd see them again!
Man I miss G4......
Left 4 Dead at 89? That was an amazing game!
I'm so late that G4 has died twice since this uploaded
"NBA 2K is so realistic I couldn't get Yao on the court for more than two games." 😂
Placebo thank you so much for putting this online! I used to watch this all the time when I had it recorded from the good ol days with G4 and I miss G4 so much. Just thank you.
same
5:56 Schnepp!!! Rest In Peace, big man.
No mention of Mega Man 2 on this entire countdown. The 1st video game sequel to actually surpass the original by a long shot! A video game I STILL play regularly!
I really don't like Soulja Boy but when he said he locked the sims in a house, deleted the doors, and set it on fire had me cracking up
It's hilarious coming back to this after seeing Nolan North (the narrator to those who don't know) play burger time with Troy Baker on retro replay
I'm so under a Rock, I've never heard of words with friends.
7:02 No dude, that's the "+ points" sound from Donkey Kong. Still, another barrel-jumper.
Who else is here for nostalgia reasons
Big facts 😂😂I remember being like 11 when I first saw this and I’m almost 20 now
G4 is coming back!
How is Wii Sports above Mass Effect?
Come on Mass Effect is my favorite games it deserves better than this.
I agree, Mass Effect is also number one in my heart.
+Sean Parenti don't worry I believe Mass Effect 3 is higher on this, I know this is older, and I haven't watched this in a while, but I do think it's on here. Or the original
Mass effect is rubbish compared to wii sports.
Yea wii sports is just a fun game it don't have to be here
The lonely shepherd
Rip robin williams
WE NEED TO BRING THIS CHANNEL G4 BACK
Tony Yul it’s been dead for more than 5 years it will never happen...

It’s back.
@@hopelessent.1700: Well, that reply aged well
HOLY SHIT DIS TAKES ME TF BACK
Nolan's narration is like he is in Uncharted. His narration is GODLY!
12 years later and I’m still pissed Words With Friends made this list. That shouldn’t of counted as a video game
Here's the list for Part 1:
#100: Pong (1972)
#99: Words with Friends (2009)
#98: Pitfall (1982)
#97: NBA 2K11 (2010)

g4 was literally gold
One of my favorites has got to be Pacman. Ah, nostalgia.
Fun Fact: This was the final thing they showed before the network changed to esquire
That's their karma for this shitty ass list
I played the 1989 NES version of Ninja Gaiden. Fun game but difficult
Love how everyone has a gaming story.
Where's the "Dirt" series on the countdown?
Man has no one else noticed all the dumb Left 4 Dead comments from these "gamers." One guy talked about zombies and said the witch is the toughest enemy... Then another one said he doesn't revive his teammates because they STEAL THE GUNS... Another guy said "the big zombie." You mean the Tank.
I was into this list until that... It's painfully obviously they don't know what they're talking about so obvious this is a paycheck to them.
How tf is Mass Effect #87?!
LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan
Ugh. Thanks for the upload. I missed this, regretted it, forgot about it, and now I'm here. Thank you again.
G4 is officially back today so why not celebrate while watching this
I don't know if the ranking feels right to me, but I am having a great nostalgia trip watching this! OUTRUN! BURGERTIME! MARIO! And also the mention of contemporary games like Assassin's creed and skyrim.
i just realized the narrator is Nolan North
Nolan North = The Voice of Gaming
RIP Robin Williams and Jon Schnepp. Also to G4 the television channel.
It’s coming back!
Soulja Boy should facepalm so hard he puts his hand through his face after admitting to being friends with Justin Beiber.
Lol pong as #100... Seems so fitting :D
man I miss this show, it gave me something to watch before bed
Nostalgia in a video.
Still my favorite countdown in 2018
It sucks that G4 isn’t around anymore, now that we have even more advanced video games in terms of gameplay, story, music...etc I would’ve loved to see an updated version of this series.
It’s coming back!
shizuwolf Howlajima I know 😁
The good days of g4
Karnage the evil clown IKR?! I miss G4TV

To bad that they were wrong about braid, the first game to really innovate the reverse time and pause time was blinx the time sweeper
idk if anyone noticed, but at 5:00 It said porn. I have such a stupid sence of humor lolol

It's Megadeth, not Megadeath
Easily one of the top 100 ever. Game is a blast.
Only game in this part I've played was Left 4 Dead. Never heard of over half listed in this part.
Then you can't call yourself a gamer my friend.
No, old games like Breakout, Pong, Snake, etc should NOT be at the top of this list.
This is the top 100 games of all time, not the most influential games of all time. Its not solely based on their influence.
No go ahead, try to play pong for 8 hours and I will play an Elder Scrolls game for 8 hours. See who is more enveloped in their game.
However, this list is bullshit anyway. I get its subjective but a couple of these entries I just don't understand... Ha.
Old games are in this list because the older generations felt the same way about those games. It's the old games that inspired people to develop the games you are willing to play for 8 hours today.
I agree with you and you nailed it when you compared playing pong vs an elder scrolls game for 8 hours.
Did you know that people back when pong was released would do the same thing? Of course you wouldn't play pong for 8 hours, nor would I, because what entertains our generation is different. You're not taking time periods into account. The list is for the "Top 100 video games of ALL TIME". Not of "2000+". There are many games released in every generation which are sub par, average, or amazing. The amazing ones from each generation should be recognized when doing a top 100 for all time video. Your view on this is very linear. That being said, it would be nice if there was at least somewhere to view the poll itself used for the list if one was done or to at least know how they rated the games so we could know why the games are where they are.
I think you may have missed the point, yes older games should be here, I am sure you did not enjoy pong neither did I, but that does not mean it is not great to other people, understand that not everyone would enjoy ES series, or the genre, this list is for all gamers, everyone enjoys something different, so it is subject to opinion, and it is targeted for a broad audience and was on G4 so it had to be for everyone.even some non gamers, try to be a little more open minded guys, understand for some people pong was and is that great game
Jaycee J. Dang man. That's a really good way to look at it. Not to mention those older games literally paved the way for what we have now.
The worst part of this whole thing is why they cared about what soulja bitch thinks about games..or anything for that matter.
wasn´t there a star world in super mario?
Pong deserves a higher place because it is one of the first successful games so it is to important to be only on place 100
But it's not one of the best.

And I still am super pissed all the time that NO Devil May Cry game is on here, anywhere, on any of these videos...was it not influential enough? Did it not inspire God of War and every other mega violent game enough?
Thanks, I'm too lazy to watch the whole thing >.>
Everyone here is freaking out about which best game should be here and I'm like, "Dude, it's 100-80, calm down. It gets better."
Thank you so much i have been looking everywhere for this
Shock G!! Damn RIP
What happened to G4?
shizuwolf my guess is not enough viewers so they shut it down
shizuwolf i assume that they weren't getting enough views because everything they were providing was already on RUclips lmao
shizuwolf go to a channel called Goodbadflicks and the man looks at the history of the rise and fall of G4. Its really good!
The Indian guy just tries to be funny and he's just boring. But the countdown was really good and some of these I used to play when I was growing up and some of them I still play today.
